Contradiction with James 2:24
Explains that a person is justified by works, and not by faith only, contrasting with Romans 4:3 which emphasizes justification by faith.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Paradox #1
The contradiction could arise from the idea of faith being credited as righteousness, which might conflict with the notion that one must perform good deeds to be considered righteous. Some may find it inconsistent that belief alone, rather than actions, is what grants righteousness.
